What our customers say

Client

“The team at Alexander James Recruiting are absolute professionals. I would highly recommend the company to anyone in need of their services."

Luke Hill

National Business Development Manager at Still Materials Handling

Candidate

I left my previous role and within a few days a consultant at Alexander James Recruiting had found that I was looking for work on LinkedIn and contacted me. They had several vacancies to offer and after sending my CV they had me an interview within hours. They kept me well informed of progress and landed a second interview and consequently got a start date . They were a pleasure to deal with and managed the whole process until my start date by keeping in touch regarding my employment.

Derek Richardson

Business Development Manager - Bennie Equipment

Alexander James Recruiting are the best recruitment company I have had the pleasure of working with. They are very professional and always ready to help. They didn’t miss a single follow up and were always ready to help me prepare for interviews. Dealing with a consultant felt like talking with a friend.

Alexander James Recruiting have now helped us to fill several positions successfully. They were positions that I had been struggling to find the right candidate for, for some time. They take the time to fully understand the requirements for each role & also to understand our companies' philosophies and dynamics. This all resulted in a great selection of candidates being presented to us.

Alexander James Recruiting supported us with recruitment of a candidate in 2025. The thing I was most impressed by was how much enthusiasm they were able to convey to candidates on our behalf. They clearly took the time to understand the role, which meant that the candidates they introduced us to were both well informed & excited about the opportunity. I would definitely recommend Alexander James Recruiting to others & will happily call on their services again in the future.

Greg Collett

Sales Manager UK - CHG Meridian

Candidate

Alexander James Recruiting contacted me around 6 months ago after seeing my CV online. They had a job in mind that fit my profile but didn’t jump to conclusions. They listened carefully to what I wanted from my career and asked many questions going to great lengths to understand me. I liked and respected this. This caring approach built a strong bond between us with trust being at the centre of it. They are real professionals in this field. They have a positive, helpful attitude that makes you feel at ease, which when looking for that next career move can be so reassuring. His personality is another one of his many qualities. I’d recommend Alexander James Recruiting to find you that perfect role.

Jarrod Clegg

Field Service Manager - Triathlon Battery Solutions Ltd

Candidate

I cannot recommend Alexander James Recruiting highly enough. Within a few days of my initial contact, the consultants had several job opportunities for me and put themselves out to make sure they were putting me forwards for roles that were a good match for both myself and the employer. Always available on the phone for advice or just a general chat. I'm very happy in the role they found me but if I ever need to make another move, Alexander James Recruiting will be the first place I call.

Mike Ayliffe

Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough
